A Little Thing Called Love

Did you have a major crush back in high school or college? Did you try keeping or "preserving" things he/she unintentionally gave you? Did you tell yourself, "Shocks! Ayoko nang maligo! Nagkadikitan kame!"? Did you try everything to get his number and phoned him without talking just to hear his voice? I bet most of you did...

Well, I am not an exception. Call me landi girl of the 21st century but I can't deny I had major crushes back in high school and college. I remember how kilig I am whenever I see my crush pass by. I sneaked and peeked at his classroom just to catch a glimpse of him. I studied so hard just for him to notice me. I tried everything to become pretty just to get at least a single compliment from him.

But just like what Adele mentioned in one of her songs, "sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead" I also felt disappointed and sad when I found out that my crush has a girlfriend. I would always say, "Masmatalino naman ako dyan!" because I know that that's the only thing that I am miles away ahead of her. I know I wasn't pretty back in college and high school because that's the time I had acne all over my face. I used to ask God why I wasn't as pretty as those head turner girls. I complained why I was just "all brains and no beauty"... In short, I was so conscious of myself because of my crush.

Two weeks ago, my sister asked me to watch this Thai film, A Little Thing Called Love, about a girl who had a major crush on a schoolmate. I just watched it yesterday and I thank my sister for recommending this film. It's a teenybopper movie that could actually touch your hearts especially if you've undergone the same thing. You can totally relate to this movie if you are/were head over heels over someone. This movie is all about the stages a person go through when she/he finally gets a crush, or starts to fall in love for the first time. Trust me, this movie is cute!

Having a crush/infatuation/feelings for someone is not wrong. It's fun, actually. It helps you in a way that you want to improve yourself more just to get noticed. But sometimes, it's better when that someone we like notices us for what or who we really are. I prefer being liked behind the mask or whatever I tried to put on just to show off. But then again, it's not wrong to prettify yourself. You still get the benefit of it at the end. Just make sure you don't overdo. :P

Note: The crush I am talking about is not the same person. Haha! But most of it is about this guy I used to crush back in college who is now on the billboards in Manila.

P.S.
I know you'll ask me what if that crush comes back into my life... Will I get kilig as well just like Nam? Of course, I'll definitely will... But for me, a crush is just a crush... It's nothing compared to true love which I have found already. :) *cheesy*
